Hey,

I appreciate your comments. I always enjoy when you come back because of your years of participation and thoughtful discussions, and I know we have some problems here that need working out and a lot of people have backed off because of the aggression or repetition of foolish aggression. I may be part of the problem, or part of the solution (depending on where one stands).
There appears to be a lack of respect from the young uns these days, or those who have to be right at all costs. And the verbal attacks are still nasty but so much better than before. I guess it's hard to be civil in an uncivil world. ER is one of our newer posters who has greatly enhanced the Zone and Jody's a breath of fresh air.

I'm still out of the box on some days, but certainly in it more than I care to be. And yes, you and I were right in our assertions about the invasion of Iraq, and we have been right about a lot more, but most will still dismiss that. I have found more that is disheartening about this administration, but my diet has got to change lest I make myself ill with it. There is nothing we can do. Just wait for the next wave to roll back out.

My baby bird story revealed a very private part of me, one that only my son and I and the family of birds witnessed. As I ran around trying to protect this tiny bit of life, I wondered what was wrong with me. But is shows the love and care that is possible.

Then I come over here and battle the bigmouths, the know-it-alls, and I find balance. LOL
But The Shift is coming, and it is leaving no one out. If they don't get it now, they'll be forced to look at it very soon. Then it's up to them to decide to go with the flow or break down entirely and fight it all the way.

Any time you want to debate, I'm ready once again.
Best of luck to you too, S.
